By Kyle Stewart ( full-size ) Well this party is a pretty shining moment for Brasstax, as this collaboration with Secret Sound Society will be our first Brasstax party outside of Chicago.

There are so many videos made with found footage these days, that they all sort of blend together, but I'm really down with the trippy science class vibes in this one. Here we find Pressed And 's hypnotic "Fire Shelf" laid over some retro visuals, and altogether it just works. Bonus: A remix by RA CAILUM .

Absent Fever - Exquisite Corpse After a few months of organizing and production, Absent Fever has released a collaboration under a theme beyond belief. The collab includes a gripping connection between 7 artists from the AF family including Kynan, Gracie, Birkwin Jersey, Wonder Bear, Ra Cailum, Galapagos, and Guerre. Each artist takes part, lending their imagination while deeply composing a momentous minute for the 7 minute track. Accompanying the soundscape is a film by Library Voices and artwork by Brian Vu. Absent Fever couldn't describe it any better: [...]
Absent Fever // Exquisite Corpse What can only be properly described it’s curators Tyler and Eloise have drummed up a neat project that features some of their finest artists on their label roster. Composed by impulse and the stream of consciousness, seven juxtaposed artists came in union to create one collective vision; distinct and furthermore one. Seven of the Absent Fever artists collaborated to create one 7 minute song. Each was given only the previous artists 1 minute to base their 1 minute off of, and was told to [...]

Out yesterday, Finding My Way is a volcanic melting pot of influences, complete with punching drum beats, expertly selected and shifted vocal samples, some [...]

Sometimes when beginning to listen to a new artist, it’s better to cut the bullshit and just listen. Regardless, context, or at the very least a story of some kind, goes a long way. With Ra Cailum I believe I struck the perfect balance. My only frame of reference was two pieces of writing from the man himself. The first was taken from Cailum ’s bandcamp: “I recorded this album from January - June 2011. The album is dedicated to Delia. This was her album before it was a Ra Cailum album. Every track on [...]

image by Brad Rohloff Take one 20 year old African American male named Tyler; a college student and Chicago resident. Place Tyler with a 16 year old Caucasian female named Eloise; a high-school student and Los Angeles resident. Integrate the two into a community of like minded people, all who are in this community solely because of a common creative interest. Allow them to recognize that this isn't some strange social experiment or even strange at all, it's merely the product of their generation, it's the internet. And thus, Absent Fever is born. [...]
